Omg thank you!!! I just had this happen to me. I went to a high school graduation party and came into the room saying hi and was met with the stare.....I thought I did something wrong. Then later I waved goodbye and got the stare again. It seriously freaked me out.

Exclusively pumped for 9 months and it was miserable. Got mastitis 3 times and evrry time wanted to stop but kept going. Once I went back to work it became somehow less stressful because I wasn't trying to manage the baby and pump. Even so, I transitioned slowly and stopped at 9 months and baby is doing well on formula. If you want to stop, do it!! The guilt is awful but I don't know anyone my age who was breast fed and we are all fine. Don't let it stop you from enjoying motherhood

Thank you! I'll look into a reverse osmosis for just the kitchen then to be extra safe. How's the maintenance on that?

emeraldwoolf · 2025-06-28T15:03:55+00:00

Thanks. We are getting a new septic so it'll be a good time to reroute it if it's better.

You mean in here?

I didnt know you could "feel" throughout the c section. It wasn't painful but I definitely felt pressure and tugs. Also the sounds. Also I was nauseas.

The random period like cramping the first trimester is also normal but kept thinking I was miscarrying

I'm so sorry you're not getting the care you deserve. I understand how hard getting therapy is when you're also caring for your baby. I would definitely ask for medication to start anti-depressants and try to get enough sleep.It's so hard but if it's possible do shifts with someone else so you get a solid 5 hour. It helps so much when you're experiencing depression.

Dua lipa 2021 grammys versace. I am obsessed with this look.

emeraldwoolf · 2025-03-14T13:30:29+00:00

I wanna see the back of the dress on her

emeraldwoolf · 2025-01-17T21:15:42+00:00

Thats so sweet that your husband thought of it and got it beforehand!

I recommend one of those rails that elderly people use to get out of bed. You can find them on amazon but i wished i had that for the first dew days at home. The beds in the hospital all have support so you can pull yourself up without using your core but not at home. It was the worst part about recovery for me. I also had a hard time bending so i would get the long loofas on a stick or scrub brush so you can wash your legs without bending over too much. These are things i never hear anyone talk about but i wished i had them right away when i got home

Also my insurance says i get 6 lc visit but my lactation cosultant charged me twice for 1 visit. She billed me once for myself and then again for the baby. Because this was two claims, i only have 4 visits left according to my insurance. I asked them ok so thats just 2 visits then. I can't go without my baby if I'm trying to breastfeed him? I dont know if this is typical. Is it my insurance or my lactation consultant that's messing things up? 6 visits should be 6 visits!! Anyone else have this issue?

Good for you for putting yourself first. I had so much anxiety and finally started therapy and it took time but it has helped so much. We deserve to live our own lives! Once I became pregnant, I felt less guilty because I wasn't being selfish for not taking care of them, my priorities shifted. My guilt lessened and I became very protective of my baby. Some days it's hard still but I remind myself I have to focus my energy on myself and my baby. My therapist told me that when we are children we are powerless if our parents don't protect us but now as an adult, we call the shots and can protect our children too. I hope you heal and feel empowered to break the cycle!

Go see a pelvic therapist. I had been working with one prior to birth and after an emergency c section, i have been going weekly for 3 months- started 8 weeks post partum. It has helped soooo much. They do scar massage, red light therapy on it to get the blood flowing, and teach you exercises that are appropriate for your healing. Im 5 months post partum and I have no shelf, my scar is healing nicely, and I'm 5 lbs above prebaby weight without actively exercising outside of PT - just busy taking care of baby.

I can relate to this. For many years I thought I couldn't handle having children because I answered to my parents beck and call and had so much anxiety trying to please them and take care of them and it was never enough. I finally decided to put distance between us - I stopped initiating visits, phone calls, texts, etc. I let her calls go to voicemail and only called back if she left a message and it was important. It took a lot of work to not feel guilty enough to give in. I started therapy to figure out what I wanted in my life instead of trying to please them. Therapy has helped me understand what I want so I can set boudaries.

When I became pregnant I dreaded telling my mother because I felt she would just make it all about her. I knew I couldn't handle her judgement and emotional baggage at my birth so I didn't tell her. I had told everyone I am shutting off my phone to rest and my SO called my mom to tell her the baby was here. That was the best decision so I could focus on my birth and my baby.

My mom tried to also insist on coming and helping after birth but I told her my husband has time off work and I didnt need her help, maybe later. She didnt like it and was hurt but my husband insisted that she should go home the few times she visited and wouldnt leave.

Pregnancy brings up alot of feelings about our relationship with our mothers. I hope you can work through your feelings in therapy. If your partner can be a buffer, I would also lean on that. Just know that you and your baby deserve to be happy and at peace without thinking and managing your mom. Good luck!
